Bowe Bergdahl says the Taliban treated him better than the United States.

How the United States treated Bergdahl before he tried to defect to the Taliban:

Trained him, trusted him with weapons and responsibility, and suffered casualties trying to rescue him before realizing he wasn't a victim.

How the Taliban treated Bergdahl:

Threatened to cut his throat, kept him in a steel cage, and tortured him.

How the United States treated Bergdahl after he tried to defect to the Taliban.

Traded 5 jihadi killers for him, promoted him to sergeant, gave him a trial for his actions, and makes him do chores.

Bergdahl clearly won't be in the Leavenworth MENSA society.
